The RTF forums will be down for maintenance and server moving tonight at 10 PM Central time.

This Sticky temporarily takes the place of all "normal" stickies, which will be moved back to the top of the forum after we are relocated in our new home.

Thanks for your patience during this necessary maintenance.

Sincerely,

Chris

Maybe Chris is waiting for the move to be totally finished and tested properly before restoring the Stickys?

I like it better without the stickies. It Was getting too sticky heavy at the top. People posting their own EIC and PRA results just doesn't make sense. You can write whatever you want to. Doesn't mean it's true without the verification.

someone had the idea of creating it's own little category. That would actually be perfect.

With a seasonal balance of Heat Exhaustion and Cold Tail. One is way more severe than the other , but the lesser of the 2 is more talked about. It seems to be a seasonal thing like fireworks and fudge.

If we're voting, I'd prefer to have at least a health clearance sticky, especially with the EIC/CNM/PRA stuff, with links to the testing info. It's a quick and easy way to refer people and I think an important part of this forum is education. I wonder how many dogs and owners have been saved needless grief because of people coming here and learning about EIC, CNM, etc. So, I'd think it serves best being on the main forum. Maybe annoying and inconvenient to have stickies, and there were getting to be a lot, but, I think serving to better our dogs' health and safety is paramount.

The tribute sticky was an honor for those lost and I think deserves its spot.

Did that come via PM from a guy who goes by the handle of MooseGooser? If so, I think he deserves it!
